At what point did you realize that Dominion was a really in depth game that was super strategic and could generate tons of discussion?

As soon as you came up with the idea? After it was released? After a certain expansion was released? After the Wiki and forum went up?

Are you saying - but that would mean...

May 11, 2016.

I think this was one of your wittiest jokes to date.

I am just mentioning it because I know you deeply care about my opinion.

I have a friend that didn't get the joke...

Next time you see your friend, tell them that Donald is implying that, previously to Roadrunner asking him when he realized that Dominion was a really in depth game, he hadn't realized such a thing. Thus, the day when he realized was May 11th 2016.

And now that I have properly expounded Donald's antics, they have been rendered more amusing.

My friend sometimes can't comprehend things he reads before drinking coffee in the morning.

I think he was simply refering to the fact that the forums went up yesterday (after being down for half a day)

[Beyond Awesome]

I just wanted to say that based off everything I know about Empires, the expansion is amazing! I can't wait until May 25th.

Since there are bound to be interested parties here, Donald X. did an AMA on reddit yesterday.  Probably a lot of the stuff we've already read elsewhere (including in this thread), but it may be fun to read through anyway, especially if you appreciate Donald's writing style.

Will Prosperity be getting the newer style VP tokens in future editions?

That bit where Donald met David Sirlin was gold. Unlike Sirlin, who isn't Gold at all.

Which do you like better, Heroes of Might and Magic II or III?

Uh I think so, depending on what it's getting now and what you mean. I think something was improved somewhere and that will someday apply to Prosperity if it hasn't already. I don't think it will be getting 2's.

Which do you like better, Heroes of Might and Magic II or III?

You know I worked on a mod for Heroes III. WoG. I did all the best parts. I mean not counting making it possible. And the underlying game.

I have played them both recently. I have more nostalgia for II, but III was mostly a step up. It's so sad the expansion got hacked up by angry fans (as with Might & Magic games, they were going to have a lurking sci-fi element, and had Naga Tanks and such in the new town for the expansion; fans complained and they replaced it with the Conflux).

I like Sirlin's article about scrubs, and it's an article I'll often show other people.

I dislike pretty much everything else about Sirlin.

That is awesome!  HoMM3 was my main game right up until I discovered Dominion.  Love that game.  I honestly would prefer the normal HoMM3 over WoG, but WoG was certainly really cool.

I am really looking forward to Empires!
You said that you care about anachronisms in the illustrations, so why did you name a card "Gladiator" then? Do you slowly run out of medieval-sounding card names? Or was that specifically intended for the card's duel-like gameplay concept?

This expansion has a Roman Empire theme despite the Roman Empire as we think of it not being medieval. It had come up for Adventures, I made a list of themes, and Roman Empire had a lot of good names. I mean that was it; a theme with a lot of good card names. And it seemed like an okay fit otherwise, for the mechanics. So, the set isn't just named Dominion: Rome or whatever, it tries to get in later periods that overlap with medieval times, and also have medieval things, but the Roman stuff I just let be Roman.

[Seprix]

This might sound crazy, but can you see a Victorian England themed set? Yes, it's not Middle Ages, but it's still sorta classy.

But then you'd have WWI and then other weird times as well. Oh well, at least that Hemingway card would be possible.

I do not see it.

How many non-Dominion games do you currently have "in the works" right now?

[Donald X.]

How many non-Dominion games do you currently have "in the works" right now?

It depends on what you mean. Like, how likely are these games to get anywhere? If that's not relevant, man, dozens. If it's really relevant, I dunno, could be as low as zero.

[SuperHans]

Are there any questions in this thread that you get tired of answering repeatedly, including this one perhaps?

[Accatitippi]

I understand if you can't answer this, but:
is any dominion promo going to come out within the next few months? I need to get my Pathfinding bgg order to the minimum of 5$ and I can't find much that I'd really like from the store.

"Tough luck" is an acceptable answer.

If you don't have them already, get one of the Castles of Burgundy mini expansion. And if you don't have Castles of Burgundy, get that.

I had the same problem and got the Troyes cards.
